Performing a HotSync operation for the first time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the handheld
and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync
Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users, you may want
to create a user profile. See the section that begins on page 171 before performing the following
steps.
Important:
You must use the HotSync cable for your
first
HotSync operation.
The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you
have not installed this software, see page 24 for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation:
1. Connect your handheld to the Hotsync cable. See the section that begins on page 23 for
details.
2. If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click Start, and then
choose Programs. Navigate to the Handspring (or Palm) program group and choose HotSync
Manager. Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically opens
the HotSync Manager.
3. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
Important:
The first time you perform a HotSync operation, you must enter a user name in the
New User dialog box and click OK. Every handheld should have a unique name. To
prevent loss of a user’s records, never try to synchronize more than one handheld
to the same user name.
4. From the Select User dialog box, choose the user name you assigned to your handheld.
The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.
